The Scripture used to prove that it did not rain before the flood is Gen. 2:5-6. Anyone reading these verses of Scripture should see that this refers to the time before plants were in the ground and before man was created to till the soil. God created the clouds “to cause it to rain on the earth” (Job 38:9, 26-28). Clouds were known all through Lucifer’s kingdom on Earth before Adam (Isa. 14:12-14) and ever since the work of the second day (Gen. 1:6-8).

Since there is no statement that a mist coming up from the Earth to water the ground was God’s method of causing vegetation to grow, and since clouds were made to give rain on the Earth, and as they were in existence after the second day’s work, we can logically conclude that it rained ever since the clouds were formed in order to carry out the creative purpose of God.
